"I was recently involved with promoting the wonderful work the Chestnut Appeal does through one of my clients and was so impressed with the dedication of Lesley-Ann Simpson, who manages the charity, I asked her if I could help more, in a professional capacity," Mr Abbott said.

Ms Simpson said: "With 36,000 new prostate cancer cases in the UK every year, we need to do everything we can to keep the appeal in the public spotlight and text comms will play a key role in helping us do that."
